Tom Bernhardt on progressivism

The progressive movement has been a continual blight on mankind for way too long.  It's brought us Prohibition, eugenics, Federal Reserve, income taxation, WW I, and so many other horrors.  It stems from some theological-type notion of human plasticity and perfectibility to be molded by enlightened central planners.  It appeals to the hubris of the intellectual classes in academia, journalism, law, politics and now Big Tech.
